I wish people would stop calling Jonathan Ross an officer.

In my opinion, he is not an officer; he's a hired thug, an armed goon, a murderer. I don't consider any of those ICE goons to be officers. They hide behind masks; they have little to no training; they're not vetted; they don't have to pass background tests; they don't have to have probable cause; they don't have to identify themselves; they don't have to follow due process; they don't have to read anybody their rights, etc. They can just go out and do whatever the hell they want to whoever they want. They are not officers and they don't deserve to be called officers.

They will kill plenty more in 2026. The administration has made it clear, killing anyone that looks liberal is the goal.

Indiana National Guard and Iraq veteran - 2002-2007
Border Patrol 2007 to 2015
ICE 2015 to 2016

He was nearly killed in June sticking his hand in a driver window and getting dragged. You'd think someone with that much experience and with that event just 6 months ago, he'd be better at de-escalating. Certainly he should know better than to shove his arm into a car that's running or jump in front of an SUV.

He's just simply a bad cop.... perfect for what DJT wants on his private goon squad. I met an ex ICE agent today that said there has been a mass exodus starting when Trump got re-elected. Decent agents that stuck it out his first term weren't willing to do it again.


Jonathon Ross is the poster child for today's ICE. He is what MAGA considers a hero.
